A floral tribute to Her Majesty. The air of sorrow and remembrance on Battle of Britain day. The flowers, reflections, appreciation for selfless duty and humility in graciousness. I could go on but my tears will not stop at that which is lost. #GodblesstheQueen #LongLiveTheKing https://t.co/VWGX4yWaqB
